Dandy-Walker syndrome: an updated literature review.
Review in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The Dandy-Walker syndrome (DWS) encompasses a group of anatomical midline cerebellar disorders with potential shared embryological origins, including the classic Dandy-Walker malformation, Blake's pouch cyst, and mega cisterna magna. Genetic factors, chromosomal abnormalities, and environmental influences contribute to its etiology. DWS, occurring in 1 in 25,000 to 35,000 live births, often presents with hydrocephalus and other central nervous system anomalies. Clinical manifestations vary, with symptoms appearing from neonatal to adult stages. Diagnosis is performed through neuroimaging, evaluating the posterior fossa and associated anomalies. Management involves treating hydrocephalus, addressing associated anomalies, and providing neurological follow-up with a multidisciplinary team. Prognosis hinges on associated malformations and their severity, impacting long-term outcomes. An unsystematic updated review on the embryology, pathophysiology, diagnostic approach, and therapeutic management of DWS is presented.
